Setting up Single Sign On with Entra ID

TiCon 4 supports Single Sign On with Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure Active Directory). To set this up, use the following work steps:

hmtoggle_arrow1        1. Registration of TiCon as an app in the Azure Directory

hmtoggle_arrow1        2. Saving the application (client) ID in the TiCon Administration

Notes on switching from "Active Directory" to "Microsoft Entra ID"

Users created via Microsoft Entra ID can have the same login name as Microsoft Entra ID users, but are considered new users.

After creating the Microsoft Entra ID users, the "Transfer user" function can be used to transfer all data of the former Active Directory users to the new Microsoft Entra ID users.

Alternatively, after entering the application ID in the database, the SSID of the AD user can be exchanged for the SSID from the Microsoft Entra ID.

This means that all users can log in via Microsoft Entra ID and all personal settings and element ownership are retained.

The SSIDs can be found in the "ACTAD0E" table.

Troubleshooting

In some cases, Entra ID needs a few minutes until everything is updated and it is possible to log in to TiCon.

Important: The user must be logged in, otherwise sample data will be displayed.
